You get hourly for your job. Cool. Keep track of your hours, but do your job.
Expecting a bonus is bullshit. Getting pissed off because you didn't get one is bullshit. Why didn't you ask for a higher pay rate when you signed on?
I like what another poster said anyways; I would prefer a raise over a bonus.

That is true, I always thought like that.
Bonuses are bullshit, I mean, it's really cool when you get it because you're doing a nice job, but expecting and demanding is lame.
I think the same way with tips, you tip someone because they are doing a good job, but the waiter coming to you and saying that you NEED to pay for it is stupid. I couldn't care less for those $10 bucks tips; but what pisses me off is when you receive an awful service and is 'demanded' to pay.
I had a guy once come to me and tell me that it was lacking $1 because I didn't have any bills with me, I just asked him, oh it's not ok? grabbed everything I gave him and walked to the manager.
I am not "american" and where I come from (Brazil), that's the way it works. I think it's fair.
